ethtool: set link modes related data with LINKMODES_SET request
Implement LINKMODES_SET netlink request to set advertised linkmodes and
related attributes as ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS and ETHTOOL_SSET commands do.
The request allows setting autonegotiation flag, speed, duplex and
advertised link modes.
